If you want to speak to a police officer in Truro, don’t go to the police station.

Police are reminding members of the public that if they wish to speak to someone, they should instead go to The Police Enquiry Office, which is inside the Cornwall Council offices – next to the police station.

Truro’s old police station, just off Trafalgar Roundabout, closed down in 2014.

Now the city’s police officers are based at a station on Pydar Street but there is no enquiries desk to deal with members of the public.

A notice on the Devon and Cornwall Police website states: “The Police Enquiry Office in Truro is in the same building as Cornwall Council’s offices: Pydar House, Pydar Street, TR1 1XU

“Follow the signs for Police Enquiries and enter on the ground floor from Castle Rise, Union Street or Pydar Street.
